The problem is more related to support you had multiple CF cards, or wanted to run apps from the root/CF/MMC all at once- linking per-app allows you to achieve this.

Also, linking to stuff that has been removed isn't nessecarily a bad thing (for instance we can prompt media re-insertion); the main reason I was thinking to have a single folder that lists all the application startup scripts, is then we can standardise tools to edit er_registry and so on by examining this list.

I'm a big fan as you may have guessed of eliminating the concept of install/uninstall
Yes I can see that and I'm all for it. I'm creating a first version of my suggestion right now so in a day or two you'll be able to testdrive it. . .
